ReStructure Mix Update (6/30/22): “Makin’ Music” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Gary’s Gang
Gary’s Gang is Joe Tucci (Eric Matthew) and Gary Turnier – who also marked a vital period in disco history with their 1978 dance floor hit, “Keep On Dancing”. A lightly woven sound which encompassed a soft disco edge with percussion and a few harmonies. Their 1983 release “Makin’ Music” is a return to that soft-disco feel with more of the energy which dance music acquired from the late 70s and became high energy in the 80s. This one is the same formula with a touch more of that sweetness which makes Gary’s Gang a favorite in the disco realm.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Makin’ Music” and reworked the arrangement with a new ReStructure Mix outline. More of the sequencer riffs are outlined and shaped into new breaks and drops.
